GEN: 5th grade books

[Vicki Lyngstad <lyngstad@VICTOR.K12.MT.US>]

This is a request from from the title teacher.  We have a group of 5th=
 graders that come into the Title room for reading.  They have just=
 finished the book, "Two Quarters" and we would like to order another book=
 for them to work on.  The students have really gotten excited about=
 reading and I think it has to do with the interest level of the last book.=
  It really related to kids who were going through some of the same=
 struggles as they have experienced or heard about - drugs, lying, split=
 families, friends staying true or betraying people, etc.  The kids=
 couldn't wait to see what happened next in the story.  Could you suggest a=
 few books (approx. 4th reading level - I don't want them to get frustrated=
 with the reading level) that they can choose from and then I will order a=
 set of them.
